BOX ELDER
Acer negundo

lyrics

Wasn't the question you asked me
It wasn't the answer I gave
That made me feel like I was on a train
Was a distant voice
Made me make a choice
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

I got a lot of things to do
A lot of places to go
I've got a lot of good things coming my way
And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them.

Last time I was there
You were out on the couch
Pressed into a little electric 2
It was the way that you smiled
Made me know at once
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

'Cause I've decide to make a stand
And I'm not gonna take your hand
I'm taking the next bus outta here,
I'm heading for Box Elder, M.O.

Bugmen Prague, Czechia

Aging dudes who could just be drinking beer after work. But somehow music for the jukebox of their lives is being made in the process. Is it magic?
